In this episode, I chat with model maker Jim Davidson about his journey from a dinosaur-obsessed kid in the 1970s to working on some of the most memorable practical effects sequences in modern cinema. Jim talks about discovering the work of Ray Harryhausen, and how seeing Star Wars at the age of 12 made him realise that visual effects could be a real career. We get into how a chance meeting with future Oscar-winning art director Robert Stromberg led to his first break in the industry, and how that snowballed into working with the Skotak brothers on major productions. Jim shares detailed insights into the making of the nuclear nightmare sequence in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, including how the miniature buildings were constructed, destroyed, and reset using a combination of breakaway materials, air cannons and practical ingenuity. We also talk about his work on Batman Returns, the realities of working in small, tight-knit effects crews, and the creative problem-solving that defined that era of filmmaking. A big part of the conversation focuses on the industry shift following Jurassic Park, when CGI began to replace large-scale practical effects. Jim reflects on witnessing that transition first-hand, and why he chose not to move into digital work. There's also discussion of his later work, including returning to stop motion for Creepshow, bringing things full circle back to the techniques that first inspired him. It's a fascinating look at a very specific window in film history, from someone who was right in the middle of it.

Release the Kraken! This week on the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast, Tim Williams and guest co-host Chris McMichen journey back to 1981 to revisit the ultimate mythological masterpiece: Clash of the Titans.Before digital pixels took over, Ray Harryhausen's legendary stop-motion magic brought the gods of Olympus and the monsters of the Styx to life. We're diving deep into our earliest childhood memories of the Kraken, the terrifying (and surprisingly effective) Medusa sequence, and the mechanical owl that everyone—love him or hate him—remembers: Bubo.From the gravitas of Laurence Olivier to the groundbreaking practical effects that defined an era, we explore why this blend of Greek mythology and Hollywood royalty remains a timeless cult classic. We'll also talk about the vintage toy line, the film's massive box office impact, and where it lands on our Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter today.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Clash of the Titans06:04 Rewatching and Nostalgia11:52 Cast and Characters16:54 Impact and Legacy23:07 Notable Performances and Behind the Scenes28:09 The Enforcer of Many Roles34:13 Trivia and Original Storyline39:20 The Clash of the Titans Sequel45:36 Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm joined by creature effects designer Alec Gillis, founder of Studio Gillis and co-founder of Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. (ADI) alongside Tom Woodruff Jr.Alec has spent more than four decades helping bring some of cinema's most memorable creatures to life. After beginning his career working under the legendary Stan Winston, he went on to contribute to films including Aliens, Predator, Alien³, Tremors, Death Becomes Her, Starship Troopers and many more.In this conversation we talk about how a childhood encounter with Ray Harryhausen's Jason and the Argonauts set him on this path, the early days building stop-motion creatures in his parents' garage, working for Roger Corman alongside a young James Cameron, and what it was like joining Stan Winston Studio during one of the most exciting periods in creature effects history.We also talk about the eight-week scramble to build the Predator, working with David Fincher on Alien³, forming ADI with Tom Woodruff Jr., and how practical creature effects continue to evolve in an industry now dominated by digital tools.This interview was recorded remotely, but I recently had the chance to visit Alec in Los Angeles while filming interviews for our upcoming Joe Alves documentary, where we spoke in person about his work on Jaws 3-D.Topics discussed• Discovering movie magic through Ray Harryhausen• Building stop-motion creatures as a kid• Learning the craft during the Roger Corman years• Meeting and working alongside James Cameron• Life inside Stan Winston Studio• Creating the Predator in just eight weeks• The production of Alien³ and working with David Fincher• Founding Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. with Tom Woodruff Jr.• Practical effects in the digital era• Mentoring the next generation of creature artistsSupport the PodcastIf you enjoy The Filmumentaries I hope you enjoy it.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In this episode, Anna and Derek chat about the core memories formed from the Medusa sequence, exactly why Thetis is hanging out on Mount Olympus, and much more during their discussion of the Ray Harryhausen showcase Clash of the Titans (1981).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

Greek mythology has a way of cycling back. Every generation seems to take a turn with these stories, reshaping them to fit the tools and tastes of the moment. With a new version of The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan on the horizon, it feels like a good time to revisit a few earlier attempts. Not the definitive versions. Just four films that each capture a different moment in how the myths were staged.Jason and the ArgonautsDirected by Don Chaffey and brought to life by the stop motion work of Ray Harryhausen, this remains the standard for mythological adventure on film.The skeleton fight is still the showcase. Harryhausen animated seven sword fighting skeletons by hand, frame by frame, matching choreography that had already been filmed with live actors. It took months to complete just a few minutes of screen time. The patience shows. The movement has weight and timing that still feels precise.There is also Talos, the bronze giant, who creaks to life in a way that feels mechanical and ancient at the same time. No digital polish. Just careful craft. The film was not a major hit in 1963, but it built its reputation through television airings and revival screenings. Filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have pointed to it as an influence.Clash of the TitansNearly twenty years later, Harryhausen returned for what would be his final feature. Released in 1981, the same summer as Raiders of the Lost Ark, it feels like a bridge between eras.Medusa is the standout. Instead of legs she has a serpentine body, and the sequence plays almost like a horror film, full of shadow and flickering light. Harryhausen again handled the creature effects himself, at a time when optical and early digital techniques were starting to change the industry.The cast gives the film a formal tone. Laurence Olivier plays Zeus and Maggie Smith appears as Thetis. There is also Bubo, the small mechanical owl added after the success of Star Wars. Even at the time some viewers were unsure about that addition. It says a lot about where fantasy films were headed in the early 1980s.HerculesDirected by Luigi Cozzi and starring Lou Ferrigno, this version of Hercules leans into spectacle in a way that is sometimes baffling and sometimes charming.Ferrigno had already been known for playing the Hulk on television, so casting him as Hercules made sense on a physical level. The film itself mixes Greek myth with science fiction imagery, including cosmic visuals and creatures that feel closer to Italian fantasy cinema than to Homer.It was part of a cycle of sword and sandal films in the early 1980s, many of them international co productions designed for global markets. The effects are uneven, but there is sincerity here. It commits to its vision without irony.The OdysseyDirected by Andrei Konchalovsky and starring Armand Assante, this two part television adaptation aired in 1997 as an event production.The format allows it to cover more of the journey than most feature films attempt. The Cyclops sequence and the Sirens episode stand out, helped by visual effects that were ambitious for network television at the time. The production won an Emmy for visual effects and reflects a brief period when large scale myth adaptations were being mounted for prime time audiences.Watching it now, you can see both its limits and its effort. It wants to treat the source material seriously, without reducing it to spectacle alone.Taken together, these films show how the same source material can shift with the era. Stop motion craft in the 1960s. Transitional fantasy in the early 1980s. International genre filmmaking. Large scale television in the 1990s.When Nolan releases his Odyssey, it will enter a long line of attempts to translate these myths into something contemporary. Revisiting these earlier versions is a way to see how each generation solved the same problem with different tools.They are worth tracking down. Not because they are perfect, but because each one reflects a moment when someone decided these ancient stories were still worth staging carefully.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

The book was published in 1901 a year before Georges Méliès kicked off science fiction cinema with La Voyage dans la Lune in 1902. (You can learn more about that film in episode number 2 The First Science Fiction Film Ever.)  Then in the swinging 60s as the space race was heating up a collection of brilliant sci-fi filmmakers go together to make a story about a Victorian British scientist going to the moon with his anti-gravity material Cavorite! And yet even the amazing Ray Harryhausen stop motion special effects were not enough to make this film a success. My amazing guests break down the origins and outcomes of this mid-century oddity.  Keith Williams is a Reader in English Literature at the University of Dundee where he runs the science fiction programme. He has a special interest in the pre 1945 period and is the author of the book H.G. Wells, Modernity and the Movies. Matthew Rule-Jones is a senior lecturer in film studies at the University of Exeter and author of the book Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain: Recontextualising Cultural Anxiety. At 6:09 Keith is about to explain the contraption that Robert William Paul was planning based on HG wells Time Machine. I interrupt him as we've covered this in two episodes priot. You can access more information about that on episode 37 The Time Machine: HG Wells' Legacy in 1960s Sci-Fi at timecode 23:07 or in episode 9 The Invisible Man Exposed at timecode 38:29.

Things get spirited in our discussion of this 1981 fantasy film produced by Ray Harryhausen. We talk about its short-comings, the legacy of Harryhausen, the music, the special effects and more. Does this film suffer from being a product of its time? You may hear the answer in our last episode for "Fantastically Dark" month.

This week we look back at the 2010's Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson. This contentious remake of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen classic sparked a lot of debate upon release with fans of the original film, but found its own audience with a younger generation that grew up playing God of War games on Playstation. Join us as we discuss film and let us know what you think in the comments below.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/clash-of-the-titans-2010--69571657#clashofthetitans #2010 #action #Greek #mythology #perseus #samworthington #avatar #ralphfiennes #hewhomustnotbenamed #harrypotter #liamneeson #quigonjinn #starwars #kraken #releasethekraken #kratos #godofwar #medusa #playstation 

Einige Filmschaffende und Filmkritiker nennen ihn den legitimen Nachfolger von Georges Méliès, doch bei den meisten Cineasten ist Karel Zeman leider immer noch deutlich unbekannter als Ray Harryhausen, der beinahe zeitgleich seine genialen Special-Effect-Künste und Tricktechnik unter Beweis stellte. Zemans filmischer Stil ist eine frühe Inspiration für Regisseure wie Wes Anderson, Tim Burton und Terry Gilliam, die ihrer Bewunderung durch Hommagen und Interviews Ausdruck verliehen haben. Wir versuchen in dieser Folge unsere Begeisterung für die Wiederentdeckung dieses ​​tschechoslowakischen Ausnahmekünstlers in Worte zu fassen und besprechen seine Filme Die Reise in die Urzeit (1955), Die Erfindung des Verderbens (1958), Baron Münchhausen (1962) und Das gestohlene Luftschiff (1967).

A few years later when Stanley Kubrick was looking to make a (serious) film about the topic he was recommended the book.   Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb was the resulting film. The film takes aim at military strategy, rhetoric and the people involved to give us one of the most famous satires in cinema.   It would be quite easy to double the length of this episode, but we've tried to fit as much as we can into the hour with my two remarkable guests.   Mark Bould is a professor of Film and Literature at the University of West England, Bristol. He has written/edited extensively about science fiction cinema.   Rodney F Hill is a Professor of Film at the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication at Hofstra University and has written extensively about film.   This is the article I mention by Eric Schlosser: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/almost-everything-in-dr-strangelove-was-true   Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:12 Source material 03:12 The threat of Lumet's Fail Safe 05:35 Herman Kahn, winnable nuclear war and the doomsday machine 08:25 Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun and Operation Paperclip 13:55 Nuclear policy and the Cold War 17:23 Doomsday comedy 25:51 Masculinity, techno-eroticism and bodily fluids 33:21 Peter Sellers 38:04 1960s satire boom 40:11 Production design of Ken Adam 41:25 Music 43:27 The changes to the film 46:32 Legacy 54:34 Recommendations     Recommendations: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Fail Safe (1964).   NEXT EPISODE! Next episode we will be talking about First Men on the Moon (1964). The film is based on the HG Wells novel and features stop motion animation by Ray Harryhausen. It is is available to stream and rent from Apple. The Just Watch website can give you a list of where the film is available in your region.    

In 2010 two things were big. 3D films and Sam Worthington, both a result of Avatar from 2009. And whilst that franchise continues on Clash of the Titans (which incorporates both) acts as a time capsule of that era of film making. Also acting as a reboot of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen original movie it pits Perseus, the son of Liam Neeson's Zeus, against the Gods of Olympus including Ralph Finnes Hades who is threatening to release the Kraken on the ever increasingly disgruntled mortals of Greece.

100 años, todo un siglo de vida, son los que acaba de cumplir Dick Van Dyke, el entrañable actor de películas como “Mary Poppins” o “Chitti Chitti Bang-Bang” y un clásico también de la televisión estadounidense gracias a series como “El show de Dick Van Dyke” o “Diagnóstico asesinato”. Celebramos este cumpleaños tan redondo repasando su carrera y contándoos como vive el bueno de Dick en la actualidad. Y no un siglo pero sí medio cumple también “Barry Lyndon”, la película de Stanley Kubrick que probablemente genera más división de opiniones. Os lo contamos todo sobre ella. Hemos charlado con el actor Javier Veiga que acaba de estrenar su segunda película como d irector, “Playa de lobos”, y en la sección de cine de aventuras tenemos una película de mitología griega, “Jasón y los Argonautas”, con el sello inconfundible del mago de la stop-motion Ray Harryhausen.

Series premiere! This week we leave The Shire behind to embark on our journey through Middle Earth and the epic fantasy genre!In the spirit of Lord of the Rings, we've divided our miniseries into three parts, and we're starting today with Part 1: The Road to Mordor. And that road begins with, you guessed it, Ray Harryhausen!Peter Jackson's trilogy would not exist without the sword-and-sandals stop-motion action of Harryhausen – so as we voyage towards Mordor, we must first trek the scorching sands of Ancient Greece, where harpies fly, gigantic statues terrorize, and gods try to kill us out of boredom!

The filmmaker most in tune with Brian and Steve's sensibilities, Steven Kostanski, has a new film. This time he's remade a sword and sorcery from the 80s, Deathstalker. And while the film is an homage to those films, it's also tribute to all the others like Conan, Masters of the Universe, The Beastmaster, and even Ray Harryhausen films. All retold through the lens of 90s kid who loved the Power Rangers. Plus host Steve poorly remembers a music cue from the Mortal Kombat movie as a from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.   Find Us Online- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halloweenisforever/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halloweenisforever Twitter: https://twitter.com/HallowForever Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halloweenisforeverpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenIsForeverPod E-Mail: Halloweenisforeverpod@gmail.com

Enjoy Movies!  This week, we head back to the Cold War comedy days of Spies Like Us (1985), directed by John Landis and written by Dan Aykroyd, Lowell Ganz, and Babaloo Mandel. Inspired by the Hope/Crosby “Road” pictures, the film takes a satirical jab at espionage and military absurdities of the Reagan Era. Aykroyd and Chevy Chase play bumbling “spies” who are unwittingly used as decoys in a high-stakes mission to distract the Russians, only to accidentally stumble into the real operation and prevent World War III. We break down the story, the scathing humor, and the long list of cameos, from Frank Oz and Bob Hope to filmmakers Sam Raimi, Terry Gilliam, and Ray Harryhausen. We also compare Austin Milbarge and Emmett Fitz-Hume against our secret agent bracket from a few weeks back to see how they stack up in spy cinema history. Are you a spy, like them? Do you still like the 80s political satire? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Doctor!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.
